The war dancer or Bonnet dancer originally was worn but not jus distinguished men but young aspiring warriors that took part in the dance. Here the dancer wears a Crow belt, holding a pipe bag and Golden eagle fan to shade his eyes. Originally the song starts with quick random beats signify the sound of battle and danger. The dancer crouches and wait til it starts back up to move forward. I have heard of a man being placed in the center of arena to represent a captured/ fallen comrade. You charge three times and retrieve the warrior on the last pushup. Today there is no physical man in the center but the meaning stays the same. So take heed and stay down until it is time to advance.
